There is no switch.
There never will be a switch.
"Switches", in this context, are as likely as monkeys flying out of Gadi's
posterior. Precisely for the reason stated by Adriel above (as well as being
completely idiotic and logistically impossible).
What is more likely is that some sort of system of coordination will develop
wherein the federal government will be to some extent capable of contacting
private network owners (which includes most 'traditional' critical
infrastructure as well) and directing as much as reasonably possible response
to widespread cybersecurity issues.
Look out. The gummit is coming to give us all vasectomies...
